True Todd. Still makes me wonder why a 1kw Gates or RCA (and similar) BC units will sell for 1/5 the cost of a KW-1 these days. Not that I want them too mind you ;) But they are certainly "brand names", and built a lot healthier (a new term for "big iron" I made up) than a KW-1 in my opinion.

I think the 32V2 or V3 will produce a clean 75-100 watt carrier and modulates with good upward linearity producing a output of about 400 Watts PEP (correct me if I'm wrong here because although I had one in operation, I never measured it.) If that is true then it would be hard for me to believe th
